Obstacles went from being hurdles to the Himalayas in a matter of one week. During the month of December Megan and I wanted to have a model of our invention completed. We both went to talk to Mrs. Laplante and got a good idea of what we wanted the model to look like. It included a syringe, tubes, pockets, and the main brace (just a velcro wraparound) that would adjust to the patient. At the beginning of the month it soon became clear that neither one of us had the resources, or the money, to create a real life model. So I went back to Mrs. Laplante to ask for advice. Basketball kept Megan from joining in on some of these activities. So when I went to Mrs. Laplante she recommended this website autodesk.com that let's you download software for free that you can use to create your invention depending on your need. After thanking her I tried the website and got signed in; when I tried to download the software it would tell me I needed an activation code that was sent to my email. After trying that it would continue to loop that process asking me to sign in again and then give me a new activation code. By that time is was break and I didn't bother with it anymore considering it would continue to do the same thing. If we can continue our projects after break I will go back to Mrs. Laplante and ask for her advice. Our project should be evaluated by what has been accomplished. All considering the idea, the need, the design, and the distribution. We have been through the idea, the need, and the design multiple times changing the product because of new thoughts or ideas. Because of that, we didn't get to making of our idea or the plan of distribution. Overall considering our timeline with sports and the changing of ideas I believe we did what could be expected with having a solid idea, evaluating the need, getting the design on paper (and whiteboard), and trying multiple ways to get our 3-d design made. I strongly believe if we continued on with our idea, we eventually could have a product available to doctors and surgeons across the state and with potential for more.
